What HBOT treats —
honestly.
Every condition below shows its FDA status, its typical protocol, and what the research actually supports. When the science is early, we say so.
18 conditions shown
Acute Thermal Burns
For serious burns, HBOT can reduce tissue loss, swelling, and infection risk alongside burn care.

Air or Gas Embolism
Gas bubbles blocking blood vessels — a medical emergency treated with immediate recompression in a hyperbaric chamber.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
HBOT rapidly clears carbon monoxide from the blood and reduces the risk of delayed neurological injury.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
A stroke of the eye — urgent HBOT can keep retinal tissue alive while circulation is restored.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Compromised Grafts & Flaps
When a skin graft or surgical flap is failing, HBOT can rescue it by oxygenating the healing edge.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Crush Injury & Compartment Syndrome
Extra oxygen preserves oxygen-starved tissue after severe trauma and supports surgical repair.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Decompression Sickness
"The bends" — nitrogen bubbles from rapid ascent, treated with recompression on established Navy tables.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Delayed Radiation Injury
Tissue and bone damage appearing months or years after radiation therapy — the Marx protocol rebuilds blood supply.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Wagner grade III+ diabetic lower-extremity wounds that fail 30 days of standard care qualify for covered HBOT.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Gas Gangrene (Clostridial Myonecrosis)
A rapidly spreading, life-threatening muscle infection where high-pressure oxygen halts toxin production.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Intracranial Abscess
An adjunct to surgery and antibiotics for abscesses in the brain, especially in high-risk patients.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections
"Flesh-eating" infections — HBOT supports antibiotics and surgery by attacking oxygen-hating bacteria.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Refractory Osteomyelitis
Chronic bone infection that resists treatment — oxygen restores the bone's ability to fight back.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Severe Anemia
When transfusion is impossible, dissolved oxygen in plasma can temporarily sustain the body.
Medicare-covered · Learn more
Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sudden deafness is an emergency — starting HBOT within two weeks meaningfully improves recovery odds.

TBI & Post-Concussion Syndrome
Growing trial evidence for persistent post-concussive symptoms — honestly graded, honestly explained.
Learn more
Lyme Disease & Post-Treatment Symptoms
Sometimes asked about because the Lyme bacterium grows poorly in oxygen. The laboratory rationale is real; the clinical evidence in people is not — no controlled trial supports HBOT for Lyme.

Mold Exposure & Biotoxin Illness (CIRS)
A common question, and one of the weakest evidence bases we publish. There are no clinical trials of HBOT for mold or biotoxin illness — removing the exposure is what actually matters.
